Monoprinting with the Gelli plate at the Julian Art Guild

The Julian Art Guild invited me to present a demo on monoprinting with the Gelli plate.  It's a fun process.  They were so eager to try it that I let them jump in and give it a go.  Thanks to Leigh Bittner for taking photos for me.

The Guild members asked a lot of questions about the process

Process: first roll out some paint onto the Gelli plate

Select stencils or objects to mask out designs onto the paint

Arrange your objects (masks) on the painted Gelli plate

Add texture to the paint if desired

Place a paper onto the painted plate, rub to transfer your design and then pull up to see your print!
